Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) has awarded a score of 97 per cent to M Group’s A4130 Steventon Lights team in Oxfordshire, recognising an ‘outstanding’ performance in respecting the community, caring for the environment and valuing the workforce and supply chain.
CCS helps raise construction standards by independently monitoring and scoring sites, driving accountability and improving industry performance.
Its work supports contractors and clients in meeting growing expectations around social value, environmental responsibility, and community engagement. This ensures the core priorities of construction projects are aligned with modern Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) requirements.
The A4130 Steventon Lights scheme is a major infrastructure project designed to improve bus journey times, enhance walking and cycling facilities, and support future housing and employment growth across the Science Vale area of Oxfordshire.
The works include carriageway widening, a new bus lane, upgraded drainage, improved pedestrian crossings, new traffic signal-controlled junctions, enhanced bus stops, landscaping, and significant utility diversions.
Once complete, the scheme will deliver safer, more efficient, and more sustainable transport links for the local community.
During visits to the site, the CCS monitor identified good practice in many areas including:
- Building trust with local residents.
- Employing apprentices.
- Supporting local businesses.
- Carrying out activities with local schools to promote the construction industry.
I'm incredibly proud of the team and what they’ve done is remarkable. Despite a significant amount of change on site, they've remained focused and delivered excellent results. Achieving this Considerate Constructors Scheme score is a testament to their hard work and professionalism. It’s a fantastic achievement that everyone involved should be proud of.”
Craig Buzzard, Contracts Manager, M Group
